Retrospective analysis finds no stay difference post-surgery in patients with language barriers, highlighting research needs.
Patients experiencing language barriers constitute a small group. Length of stay did not differ between the two groups. However, with respect to postoperative complications further investigation with larger patient cohorts is needed. Our findings emphasize the need for additional research and development of practical and patient-centered strategies to effectively address language barriers in clinical care.
